Picked up yesterday a MINT set of UK stock alloys :hyper: Just a few questions. I have 225/50/16 in the front, I'm guessing thats correct as thats what I had all round on the J specs.

Hi everyone Driving to the missus's house yesterday afternoon there was a loud rattling from the engine shortly before it cut out in a massive cloud of smoke and something went under the car just as a police car went by :smash: Anyways stopped in a layby and looked underneath and there was oil lagging down the back. Called the recovery man (Mickeyb) and walked down the road to find the bit that fell off. I found half a big end cap. Never mind it's in a better place (ZworX) temporarily having major surgery. It'll be back - better than ever. It's managed to survive 4 years of abuse and drifting from me on a second hand engine that was put in 30k ago which was a…
